OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by proudnavy_grandmother on June 18, 2010 at 10:20am: Congrats on your loved ones' upcoming graduation. Our grandson just graduated one week ago today: June 11th. It is an AWESOME experience. If someone attending graduation on 07/09 could do me a favor I would be very grateful. At PIR they sell sailor caps with Recruit Training Command Great Lakes on them. They are $5 each. We bought one but we have 2 other grandchildren that would LOVE to have one. I would like to send money and our mailing address (extra money for postage and handling) to anyone that would get me two more while there.

Comment by justinsmom on June 18, 2010 at 9:02am: my son was also so excited, the day I got my real phone call (35 mins) he had just tried on his dress whites, and he also said he looked good! I am sure it is an awesome feeling for them to put on that well deserved uniform and look/feel good in it! I cant wait!

Comment by Lady Cal on June 18, 2010 at 8:59am: My son says he just looks good in his uniform....I think he just likes the way it looks because he was really fit when he enlisted so I am not sure if it's PT or the guys and gals just thinking they look good! LOL I know that I speak for all when i say that we will think they look GOOD TOO! (smile)

Comment by justinsmom on June 18, 2010 at 8:29am: joesmom - my son (ship13div241) said the same to me. He played football all during highschool, so is used to rigorous PT and 2 a days in the summer. He was surprised to see that there is not alot more PT, but at the same time is not really complaining~!

Comment by texasmom40 ship 13 div 242 on June 17, 2010 at 8:55pm: So any of the moms of winsett parker or Lind in this group? My sons letter talked about them just wondering.

Comment by Jennifer T. on June 17, 2010 at 5:56pm: I just got a few letters.In it he said they may be able to start sending out letters during the week and not just on Sundays! Still no word if his division is a grad n go yet. I should be getting a lot more letters here soon from what he said. He also said they work out a lot and he too is looking GGGGOOOOOODDDDD according to him. : ) I can't wait to see him, I'm so excited!!

Comment by Lady Cal on June 17, 2010 at 4:02pm: I am so new to all of this but I have been trying to follow all the links and groups....I am just so excited about seeing my son on 7/9. He has told me that he looks GGGGOOOOOODDDDD....I can't wait to see him! (smile)

Comment by NFVMom on June 17, 2010 at 2:53pm: Thanks mom2sailorsx3 for the info, I got my free signs and bumper magnets today, they are awesome.

Comment by justinsmom on June 17, 2010 at 2:18pm: I received my 3rd letter from bootcamp yesterday. There has been no mention of grad n go, I am assuming he would have known by now..??? I am so excited and cant wait to see him in his dress whites on 7-9-10!

Comment by Jennifer T. on June 16, 2010 at 6:48pm: Thank you. I'm feeling kind of bummed. I hate that I don't get letters until Thursdays!! The anxiety of a grad-n-go is KILLING me!
